The Summer Kitchen

Blue Sky Hill Series, Book 2

De: Lisa Wingate

Narrado por: Staci Snell, Karissa Vacker

From the author of A Month of Summer, an inspiring new novel in the Blue Sky Hill series about one woman's effect on a struggling Dallas neighborhood.

With her adopted son missing and the rest of her family increasingly estranged, Sandra Kaye Darden is drawn to the little pink house where her Uncle Poppy once provided security. What begins for Sandra as a simple painting project, meant to prepare the house for sale, becomes a secret venture that eventually changes everything.

Cass Blue is having trouble keeping food on the table since she ditched foster care. When Sandra Kaye shows up with lunch one day, Cass has no way of knowing that the meeting will lead to the creation of a place of refuge that could reunite a divided community.

In this moving story of second chances, two unlikely allies realize their ability to make a difference...and the power of what becomes known as the Summer Kitchen to nourish the soul.

If you like Christian novels you’ll like this

I wish Audible would specify the genres as Christian. It was your typical Lisa Wingate series novel, inspiring, enjoyable and good endings. The racial stereotyping was a bit much for 2020 but maybe was acceptable when the book was written. Lisa W is great describing scenes and feelings. I do enjoy that

Wonderful read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though it left me in tears! But happy tears. What a story line that kept me up for hours as I had such a a hard time finding a stopping place. No matter what your life is like it made you appreciate all the small things and realize things could be a whole lot different it for the grace of God. Wonderful story.

The Summer Kitchen

Lisa Wingate books are so enjoyable to listen to or if you have them read them.
I recommend them to anybody that likes simplicity.

A beautiful story

Lisa Wingate has a wonderful way of pulling you into her story into her characters into her heart.
You could feel the depth, pain and love of each of these characters as they tried to find their footing in life.

The Summer Kitchen-

I guess I’m hooked on Lisa Wingate’s novels. This one started slow however as always the characters developed and pulled me into their lives.

I’m also a sucker for happy endings.

One of her best works yet.

I remember finishing a month of summers and wishing there was more. Only to realize months later, there was more. Although the characters from that story only slightly touch in, they have a big presence in the story and its just perfect. This book shows how people no matter what they show on the outside have so much more going on, on the inside. Cass Sally Blue is so fierce and protective of a child she barely knew, because her mom taught her how to be strong, loving and forgiving. This book is my favorite one yet.

Heart warming

It was a relaxing story that flowed along and kept my interest. I enjoyed all of the characters and how their lives intertwined.

Loved it!!

I just finished The Summer Kitchen and am so sad! I loved the book, and wished it hadn't ended. I commute by train to work everyday, and loved sitting back closing my eyes and taking it all in.
I bought the book by mistake. I thought i was clicking on it to read about it. I'm so glad I did! It's one of those books you keep thinking about all day.

Lisa Wingate does it again!

I have read five or six of her books and all of them are excellent. She has a talent of pulling you into the stories and making you love her characters. I hate to see her books end

Awesome Book!!!

Great narrative, story line and readers! Highly recommended if looking for a good story that reveals struggles that are real!
